Hm, I think there’s more to it than that. It is often the case that someone will do something and regret it without having necessarily gained any new information, which is in a sense irrational, right? If you didn’t gain information, you co

Yeah, I'm interested too. My guess for the reason, if not purely to eke out more performance, is so they can cleanly gather real-world data on this kind of usage.

Rolling average including vacant months as $0? And if that isn't smooth enough, add some smoothing factor, count vacant months as 10% of the last paid value, or maybe the first vacant month as 50% with further months decaying. Or some

Why do banks calculate it that way? Do they all do it that way, is it legally compelled? It seems obviously incorrect.

1m^3, right? I can picture what you mean, but I'm not sure it works technically, since I think the splats for a given region are not actually bound to the region they represent. Like, for example, reflections work by having the reflect

Somewhat related, check out https://github.com/wordbots/wordbots-parser , a digital card game where you write the cards and the engine parses them to determine what they do. It's fun to mess around with.

You gotta zoom into the center to see the main chaos. And if you zoom in elsewhere, you can see all the generation differences from different versions of the game.

No, sorry, I was saying I do know what it does based on the description.

I thought "A decentralized music tracking and discovery platform" and the features list was plenty descriptive. I don't think you have to use Bluesky to use this, I think Bluesky is like the backend, and otherwise it's a

Neat. I wonder if a allowing the models to inspect pixels or pixel regions, instead of fully relying on the VLM, would help at all. The spatial reasoning required might be too complex though. In general the VLM seems to be a limiting factor

Why do you think so?

I think it's a mistake to view any politics as bolted on. I think it's unlikely some people were interested in "mindful and resilient and ecological use of computing" completely apolitically, with no other political or i

It's still crime if it's moral! I think it's really important to not conflate the law with morality.

Full subtitle: Auto-translation still sucks. Why's it everywhere now? Interesting discussion of some UX issues with auto-translating and dubbing everything into one language. It seems these problems could mostly be solved with some UI

Some people say they care more about the concept than the music, but in practice if someone had just posted "imagine if etc" approximately no one would care, upvote, or comment. In reality people actually do care about the impleme

Siri does have a setting that'll activate it if you say "hey siri" while the phone is locked. Obvious privacy and battery usage concerns though, and it's still Siri, so it's a little clunky.

This seems more like Twine than Inform. Inform is for parser fic, where you enter commands ("get key", "go north", "open door"), Twine and this are for choice-based fiction.

I don't think either of those would typically be seen as weird? It's certainly less common, but I think the people most likely to find it weird would be those who would think women reading trashy romance novels is weird too.

That seems like a pretty reasonable subdivision to me. Culturally there are differences in what it means to be attractive as a male or female, so it follows that the effects could be different.

"Attractive" is something evolved as well though, so that just passes the buck. It's culturally determined as well of course.

Also interesting to consider how much "compute" has to be spent by humans are learning something like that. Like, do we need to see more examples if learning from pictures of cats and dogs than seeing them in person? How many more

What levers are there, really? Waymo has a monopoly and it seems like they will for a while, so they have a lot of power, but all I really see them doing is making it expensive. Anything that makes the experience worse takes away from their
